Got the right yoke finally but it's a little loose on the driveshaft so I need to sent it to sixstates to get fixed.

Well, not much progress.
I got the rear calipers mounted but had to do some trimming to the ruff stuff brackets for the calipers to fit.
And bled the brakes.

But my brakes are sticking in the front and can't figure out why..any ideas?
The rear dose it too but not bad...I can still turn the tires.

Also got my steering hooked up but my trackbar mount broke when I backed down the driveway lol

to each his own and all that...............

I happen to think the stance created by wide axles and skinnier than normal large tires look great and very functional.

If you had wider tires I think it would look too RC like (especially if you added a really tall whip antenna)

;D

Ya.. I would just be happy if they where 14.50 or 15.50

I don't want crazy wide tires.. But not crazy skinny ether.
I think skinny tires are worse cus it's not as big of a foot print. But there is plus's and negatives with everything.

Got the seat mocked up. What ya think?
I'm thinking I'll ask my mom to make me some black seat covers so they don't get dirty so fast.

Well I still need to order one seat but I was reading on corbeau's site and they sell replacement covers. So now I can't deside if I should just get a matching gray seat or get a different one and a matching cover. *So let me know witch seat you think will look better in the bronco.*

Have you sat in the Baja SS seats? I thought the back was too low an I am 6' tall. The Ultras are similar but taller.
